Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChrisTDickson Chris (@ChrisTDickson) reported

    @PBMsmite To be fair afk streams aren’t a problem or successful anywhere other than the Smite category. If they try to do that same process over in Overwatch or somewhere else they have 1/10 the success

  • PuffoPufferfish 💙 Puffo 💙 (@PuffoPufferfish) reported

    @kaceymatthews_ overwatch tends to give me tummy issues too

  • MrKIsGud Mr.K (@MrKIsGud) reported

    Is it just my stream that is hella laggy while streaming overwatch but the actual game is smooth af? How tf do I fix this I have no clue on what's going on. #Overwatch #help

  • Caleybird jinmenseki (@Caleybird) reported

    Didn’t have any issues with overwatch for so long and now suddenly I’m having terrible rubberbanding issues

  • SeytonLastorick Nicholas Coletta (@SeytonLastorick) reported

    @cassiecatnip @dizzykitten7 My problem is they removed loot boxes. Some people don't want to blow their paychecks buying stuff for their favorite hero. I love Overwatch but not having loot boxes really makes me want to stop playing.

  • ljfesabitch o (@ljfesabitch) reported

    @HoesLuvEthan overwatch is never not going to have a character problem its way too hard to balance that many and not have at least one be broke

  • HoesLuvEthan Ethan ⛑ (@HoesLuvEthan) reported

    Overwatch announcing a new hero and games in general announcing new characters when they have a current character problem is very lol

  • littlebifelix 𓆩 lumi 𓆪 (@littlebifelix) reported

    thinking about how my old pc ran overwatch on all low graphics and it would STILL lag meanwhile now with my new pc i run everything on ultra and i get no fps drops🫶🏼

  • LordOctopussy Lord ********* (@LordOctopussy) reported

    Overwatch has been really weird these last few days, always seem to have a server issue or my game just crashes for no reason

  • TonyPajama friend to all (@TonyPajama) reported

    Pyra and mythra in smash are snooze fests so I hate that they’re good, meanwhile if donkey Kong or king k rool were it would be my favorite ****. Zarya has the same problem in overwatch rn, it should’ve been doomfist

  • emytsuu Emy @ComicCon Stuttgart (@emytsuu) reported

    Whelp. I have watched a good 10h of Overwatch League and have recieved not a single League Token :] And yes my Battle net is connected I've been watching since the first league of OW1. I even reconnected and actively watched another few hours and nothing. Fix it please.

  • rezzyreksya "Lucretia, you Ignorant ****!" 🐀 (@rezzyreksya) reported

    I can't play Overwatch 2 anyway cus it doesn't run on my PC and Overwatch is gone forever now, like all "Live Service" games will be eventually. Guess it was fun while it lasted 🤷

  • AtacianArtistNF RedReaper77 (@AtacianArtistNF) reported

    @greghavenner I think both are problems, but one directly affects the game while the other is just annoying. I still think they should fix the overwatch problem in some way, like adding the loot boxes back, better weekly credit rewards, or story mode will give credits like Fortnite’s PvE mode

  • decoysleepr trix (@decoysleepr) reported

    @Ka1adin_ @EeveeA Of course, that is all overwatch lore. "Here's a short single-issue comic for backstory on something, maybe you'll get other content about it someday."

  • KrazoaP Drowz (@KrazoaP) reported

    @PimpMasterYoda1 Remake of a 2009 game with the same problems it had 13 yrs ago, what do you expect? Or you could play OW2 and be told "Skill Issue" when the game doesn't even function for half its player base (Search Overwatch 2 stuttering if you're out of the loop).

  • bluieberri Blueberry (@bluieberri) reported

    Fine then my first video will be explaining the problems with overwatch 2

  • Termitis4 Termitis (@Termitis4) reported

    are we gonna talk about how the overwatch team is tryna add new characters before even fixing the main bugs and issues 😭😭😭

  • ReviceRex . (@ReviceRex) reported

    @HammehLore Consumers are more inclined to support your project if you make them feel that they are cared for and they matter, this is what Overwatch has failed to do even PRIOR to OW2 and this monetization issue is the icing on the cake. I do agree the prices are a little silly but -

  • skydivescorcher anthony (@skydivescorcher) reported

    @pzzamzzrella i think your first problem was looking at overwatch tiktok :skull:

  • Mid1472 Mid' (@Mid1472) reported

    @fixghostface @DeadByBHVR I think Behaviour is going to change this Overwatch problem, for sure !

  • hs_doubbing Sidney Rutledge (@hs_doubbing) reported

    On the bright side, I suppose this means Sword Art Online will be unaffected by the ridiculously long login queue times we’ve seen with some recent releases like Overwatch 2.

  • NotJargonTTV Jargon | Dragon Vtuber 🐀 (@NotJargonTTV) reported

    who would've thought that playing overwatch at 144 fps would cause vtubestudio to lag

  • DragonMommies 🔞Shira The Celestial Dragon ✨🐲 (@DragonMommies) reported

    @fayt_hart problem in the game where bungie isn't handling things very well. Oh well. I mean..Overwatch is similar but not nearly as bad, to be fair.

  • aGrayDorito IDK (@aGrayDorito) reported

    @greghavenner i have not played the new CoD, so i don't know how bad the aim assist is on there. i can speak on about the skins, i have had Overwatch since 2017, i consider myself a veteran (even though i stopped playing it consistently), and i agree the skins are an issue, but not as big...

  • HeirLionezz Achino’am 🎠 אֲחִינֹעַם 🌟 (@HeirLionezz) reported

    💯 imma get back to GRand masTer once I fix my settings ,regardless. I don’t hate overwatch I’m just lessening my own experience because of my bad PC. I need to upgrade it it can’t stream and play the game…..that’s the difference .

  • DatSarrow DatSarrow (@DatSarrow) reported

    Overwatch: we got broken characters that are unbalanced? better wait until after the grand finals to put the nerf patch out.

  • MobileRoyale4 Mobile Royale (@MobileRoyale4) reported

    @PlayOverwatch How about fix you servers got an hour ban 5 sec to find a game as a healer said that was quick it froze and kicked me to the menu just fun to get kicked out randomly never had this issue in the first overwatch

  • HeirLionezz Achino’am 🎠 אֲחִינֹעַם 🌟 (@HeirLionezz) reported

    Idk man I’m never having fun on overwatch anymore even when I’m not being negative it’s just not fun 🤩 imma do my best to fix all my settings and try and have a better experience but I think I exhausted myself! It’s evident in my attitude I’m giving up on overwatch

  • Mr_LavenderTown Mr_Lavendertown (@Mr_LavenderTown) reported
